Product Data

CycleOps engineers designed the Fluid 2 to capture real road feel through the use of a 2.75 lb individually precision–balanced flywheel for more momentum and stability of your rear wheel.

They also adjusted fluid levels for better resistance and improved the position of sealed–cartridge bearings for better inertia and an ultra quiet ride that ensures increased wattage as you increase your speed.

And just like riding outside, simply shift gears to increase or decrease resistance. When you spin your wheels on the Fluid2 it feels like you're actually getting somewhere.

Power/Resistance CurvesUsing PowerTuned technology and the PowerTap powermeter Cycleops can graph the amount of power it would take for an average rider to maintain a specific speed while on the bike trainer. Take a look at the resistance curve below. The graph depicts speed horizontally on the x-axis versus power vertically on the y-axis:

Stop logging junk miles and start employing the exclusive PowerTuned technology—the result of scientific and athletic collaboration. Now riding the trainer feels more like riding on the road because your wheel accelerates and decelerates on an infinite resistance curve, just like it does outside.

Professional cyclists and renowned scientist Allen Lim worked together to develop a power curve based on a hybrid of road and time trial positions, finding the point at which a speed of 25 mph overlaps with an output of 400 watts.

This point of overlap is where the optimal power curve resides and is the basis for PowerTuned technology. By training on a PowerTuned curve, you benefit from the most true-to-life speed verses power contingency, no matter what speed you ride at.

About the CycleOps brand

Cycleops are world famous for producing high quality cycle trainers. However, the company origins weren’t in cycling, believe it or not they started with producing curtain rods! The story goes that the Graber brothers sold their window products company and needed something to do. They experimented in their garage and came up with a best-selling bike rack. In 1989, Chris and Sara Fortune purchased the company when it was selling 80,000 bike racks a year. In 1990, a high-end brand of bike rack was launched, branded as “Saris.” Today Saris is a leading supplier to the bicycle industry in over 30 countries. The company expanded in 1999 by acquiring the Cycleops brand of bike trainer. As usual they set out to improve on the design and by 2001 they created a new trainer frame and in 2002 they launched the world’s first progressive resistance Cycleops magnetic trainer. It was in 2001 that they heard about a hub that could measure power output and they jumped at the chance to bring this product to cyclists. They bought the company that invented Powertap and started a new round of Cycleops cycling innovations.

ReliableEasy to assemble and sweating can start. Really liked the ease of use. Not noisy as some I have heard before. Can be used in the house and not waking up everyone around. Ofcourse some one in the same room could wake up :)

Difficult to use your formsAs a gift how would I have a proof of purchase. A bit embarrassing that you have to ask the person to send you the receipt which they may have thrown away

Not exactly what I thought I was getting.It states that the trainer is compatible with Zwift. It's not!!! You need to purchase a speed/cadence sensor to make it compatible.

Best of its kind.As rainy season approached I decided it was time to invest in a turbo trainer. The Fluid 2 is, in my opinion, the best of its kind. Assembly is very intuitive as well as setting up the bike. It does not include any bells and whistles like a dedicated smart trainer, but with some extra gadgets I reckon it could be used with Zwift. The frame construction is sturdy and feels durable. Is your floor uneven? Don't worry, the Fluid 2 has you covered. It can be adjusted to stand leveled with just the turn of a knob. Resistance likewise, being a fluid trainer means you get a smooth curve of resistance which I had not experienced with other trainers I tried before. Another feature I like a lot is the fact that it is quite silent and for some who lives in an apartment, like me, this is a must.

does this trainer require a riser block and is it essential to have a specific turbo trainer rear tyre

Asked by: duck28

Its a good idea to have a riser block to keep your posture the same as it would be on the road, I just use a piece of wood under the front wheel.
Regarding turbo tyres, I have a spare wheel that I use on the turbo that I got with an old tyre that is too worn or damaged to use on the road...

&bull;1 x QR skewer

Hi
The CycleOps Fluid 2 includes: &bull;1 x QR skewer; is it necessary to buy one before using the Trainer, or does the standard CycleOps Fluid 2 Trainer include all that is needed for it actually to be used within the box?
Thank you.
Lucy

Asked by: juicylou

The trainer comes with all the basics that you need to use it, including a specific quick release for your wheel.

How high is resistance on this trainer?

What is the max wattage?

Asked by: bvon

The resistance builds exponentially as you spin faster. I'm not sure what the limit is but I've hit 900W for a few seconds using Trainerroad.

Can this be used with an Alfine 11 hub?

I have an Avanti Inc 3 which has an Alfine 11 internally-geared hub. Does this cycle trainer require a custom skewer? If so, I don't think it is compatible with an internally geared hub - is that correct?

Asked by: alfineuser

Unfortunately it will not be possible to use a Alfine 11 equipped bike with a turbo trainer I am afraid.

Installatin and left bolt

The left bolt needs to be adjusted - but how? The manual says pull and twist, but the unit is so tight this is impossible. Am I missing something?

Asked by: Gringshaw

We're sorry to hear of the issues you're experiencing with the unit. If you could kindly send in a couple of images that could highlight the problem, we'd be happy to look into this further for you:

Installation

Is there an instructional video for this specific model. All the ones on cycleops and you tube are for a slightly different model
I can't see how the left hand non drive side of the trainer, the bolt needs to move back a couple of inches so that the wheel can be centred on the roller. But there doesn't seem to be anyway to adjust the left hand side. The right hand side has a level to adjust
On the cycleops videos there is a crank on the left hand side which you can use to adjust. But this model doesn't have anything like that.
It doesnt feel very secure, so I must not have got it installed right.
Thanks
Ian

Asked by: Wad1

With this trainer on the left hand side you will have a ring with the guide/holder of the quick release. This can be adjusted by being unscrewed in order to centralise the bike.

Moving the unit

I want to take the unit abroad with me. It's much easier to transport unassembled, but I want to make sure I know it works and works with my bike before I travel. Can the unit be easily disassembled after it's been assembled, or would you not recommend assembling it until I'm overseas?

Asked by: Marais

The Cycleops Fluid 2 trainer can be easily assembled and unassembled so you will have no issues trying this before leaving for overseas. Hope this helps.
